Suspected espionage around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

In depth

According to The New York Times, US intelligence agencies suspect that a senior executive at a Singapore data center company, who maintained close ties with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, passed information to Chinese intelligence. According to the report, President Trump was briefed on the findings about a year ago and chose not to act, out of concern for harming the chip business and relations with China.

According to Globes, the suspicion concerns a businesswoman close to the Nvidia CEO. According to Walla, the report makes clear Huang did not know about the activity and was not involved in it. According to TheMarker, an Nvidia spokesperson said Huang's relationship with the woman was not unusual or unexpected, and according to Bizportal, the company clarifies that these were routine customer ties, while Beijing denies the allegations.
